So happy I found your channel! I subscribed after just a few minutes. Can't wait to go back and watch all your videos. Also glad you numbered all of your videos, to help people follow your videos from the start. Not sure why most other RUclipsrs don't do that.
where I'm from in Scotland Badger Plane were used by shipwrights to running the rebates on various different parts of ships when they were building the ships , I have really nice Mathieson Badger Plane myself .cheers
I have a badger plane which I picked up specifically to cut some large rabbets to make some frames to replace the bottom frames of a rotten conservatory. It worked very well and made a quick and easy job of it.
You could do an entire episode on all the beautiful boxing joints on those planes. Some of those details and grain orientation is amazing. Sets the artisan plane-makers’ tools apart from the prison labor variety
Plow plane then the badger, genius! I would guess that method would correct any wandering rebates in figured wood as well? Thank you for another great episode!
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial , would you know of any plans available to build a Badger plane ? Thank you for the wealth of information you offer sir . Blessings
Thank you for a great video! I've just recently finished reading the first book in The Illustrated Workshop series, and I liked it a lot! I'm currently reading the second in the series and like it even more! I read a chapter a day, if I have the time, and a second if I have more time :^) Wonderful and very useful books. It was the first time I heard about the Stanley No. 1 Odd Jobs. Such an interesting tool.
I have two badger planes one like your example and one with the tote handle on the side rarther than the top. I use this solely as a shooting plane and its excelent.
Regarding that second method: if the cut from the plow plane were wide enough that the remaining waste lands in the mouth of an ordinary plane, could one get by making fielded panels without using a rabbet or badger plane?
Great video Mr. Graham, I am just curious; what is stopping me from just using a plow plane to cut a groove, and then remove the rest with a normal bench plane (perhaps a no 5)?
Interesting video. Have you encountered a Badger with the blade skewed full width of the plane and nickers on both sides? Also one other question which you may be able to help me with, it's regarding the dovetail plane. The dovetail planes i've observed cut with the following edge not the leading edge yet a rebate plane cuts with the leading edge. Do you know why? Thank you Jerry
A full-width skewed iron with nickers on both sides is essentially a Stanley 78. But I never saw a wooden one. With regard to the dovetail plane, there are various types depending on how the dovetail 'shoe' is positioned.
Hi Graham - fascinating and instructive as always! One question, just out of curiosity: The bottom of the first badger plane you showed looked like it had an inset of a different wood around the throat - is that a repair, or a stronger wood like the edge of the second plane? Thanks! - Laura
Don't forget the rat tail file in the list of animals!
Yep, already got it listed!

Welcome aboard!
These videos are such a treasure, thanks for taking the time to make them, and thanks for taking the time to answer so many of the comments!
You're very welcome.
Another lovely video Graham
Glad you enjoyed it
Thx for posting, very interesting, and i like the animal comparison👍
Thanks> More animalia coming!
Excellent , Thank You Graham.
You're welcome.
So many beautiful planes, Graham! 😃
Thanks a lot for all the info you share!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
You're welcome. Same to you.

Interesting! Stay well.
Thank you for getting this information out there. I was just talking to people at my club today about the loss of this type of information.
Appreciated!
Thanks for that. I now realize that I have a nice Badger Plane in my collection, and how to use it
Great!
Wow , learning more and more thanks 😊 👍.
Good to hear!
Interesting. Thank you again.
You're welcome!
As always, thank you
You're very welcome!
You have so many beautiful planes. I love working with hand planes. I find I have more control than with a power planer.
Very true - and safer!
Very cool! Thank you so much Graham for sharing your knowledge.
You're very welcome
Thank you for another wonderful video. I own a badger plane and you’ve answered a lot of questions about its use.
Good to hear!
I'm anxious to see you use the raised panel plane. I've raised a lot of panels with a shaper, but never one with a plane.
Coming soon!
thank you
This was wonderful
Glad you enjoyed it!

True. Good idea.
Great vid, informative as always.
Thank you!
Also the frog on a metal plane and doe's foot for work holding.
Thanks!
Interesting, thanks!
Our pleasure!
Plow plane then the badger, genius! I would guess that method would correct any wandering rebates in figured wood as well? Thank you for another great episode!
True - but the Japanese also use opposite ironed badger planes as well.s
Máte moc pěkné hoblíky.
I agree.
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial , would you know of any plans available to build a Badger plane ? Thank you for the wealth of information you offer sir . Blessings
No, unfortunately I don't. But there may be if you search the internet long enough.
Thank you for a great video!

Sounds great!
Are all badger planes skewed? Thanks again for a great video!
So far as I know that's part of the definition.
Interesting, thanks
You're welcome!
My Badger plane is Auburn with depth stop , bevel blade by Casey, adjustable fence on sole and 2 3/4" blade.
Sounds good. I never saw a Casey.
Casey, Clark & Co organized Auburn Tool Co in 1864. In 1865 the Co made 35000 planes. Google has several references to Auburn.
Very interesting never heard of a badger plane before is the term still used in the modern equivalent?
I think the 'modern equivalent' is a router or router table.
Regarding that second method: if the cut from the plow plane were wide enough that the remaining waste lands in the mouth of an ordinary plane, could one get by making fielded panels without using a rabbet or badger plane?
Yes - assuming the iron is wide enough for the complete slope.
Very cool.
Thanks!
Great video Mr. Graham, I am just curious; what is stopping me from just using a plow plane to cut a groove, and then remove the rest with a normal bench plane (perhaps a no 5)?
Nothing, so long as the groove is wide enough to allow the plane's iron to reach the outside of the grooved edge.
@@gjbmunc I see, that kinda makes the badger plane a bit excessive. But then again, you can't have too many planes. Thanks!
I just bought one last week.
Good luck!
Do these Badger planes not need to consider the issue of wood grain direction? In Japan, planes like the Badger Plane are always used in pairs.
Depends how sharp the iron and close the mouth is.

Thanks for the info. You’ve used a term I’m not familiar with in woodworking. “Shoe”
There’s a few antique stores close to me that has some fantastic wooden planes, unfortunately they’re charging a pretty penny for most of them.
Check the web.

It's an example of remouthing - see episode 5.
@@gjbmunc Thank you - I'll go watch it.
